What is GIMIAS

GIMIAS is a software framework for fast prototyping of medical applications. Provides a workflow-oriented environment for biomedical image computing and simulation, and it can be extended through the development of problem-specificplug-ins.

GIMIAS is also a standalone application for visualization and processing of medical data ready to be used in clinical environment.

Main features

PACS Workstation (C-FIND, C-MOVE, C-STORE...)

Clinical workflow navigation

GIMIAS has the possibility to create, edit and use clinical workflows. A GIMIAS Workflow is a way to organize the processing steps and provide a simplified navigation to the end user from the initial step to the final step.

Multimodal 2D and 3D image interactive visualization

The default working area provides basic functionalities for visualization and interaction with images, volumes and meshes. It has an Orthoslice view of 3D + t images, multiSlice view, volume rendering, multiplanar visualization, landmarks positioning and measurements.

Multiplatform (Windows, Linux)

GIMIAS is being developed using C++ language and can be compiled in several platforms using CMake and CSnake tools. It's also based on common open source libraries (VTK, ITK, MITK, BOOST, wxWidgets)

Manual segmentation and quantification

Manual segmentation allows you to manually draw one or more regions of interest (ROIs) over an image, compute statistics of image intensity values in the region and create a mesh from the contours of the region of interest.

Signal viewer

The signal viewer plug-in provides a multidimensional signal viewer and exploration module. It allows to view signals with multiple channels like ECG or EEG, navigate through the signal synchronized with image data and add annotations.

Extensible throught custom plugins

You can extend the GIMIAS framework developing your own plugins that provide the funcionalities you need to create your clinical application.

Automated GUI generation

Using a simple XML file to describe the parameters of a filter (compatible with 3D Slicer). Use automated GUI generation to create the graphical interface.

Visual workflow definition

Taverna is an open source Workflow Management System written in Java. Interoperability between Taverna and GIMIAS can provide a lot of interesting functionalities for creating medical imaging workflows composed of several filters.
